My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 389: Chapter 389 She’s Showing Off
 

Because this business meeting was critically important to me, I not only prepared all the documentation I needed, but also took Jian Jing with me.

After working with me for a while, Jian Jing had become proficient and capable in the corporate world; she really was a sharp one.

Otherwise, if she hadn’t been blinded into getting together with Yu Jiahang, her prospects could have been even better.

On the journey to the meeting in the business car, Jian Jing finished organizing the documents and then discussed her thoughts with me.

“Ayun, I’ve been thinking, and I don’t know if you’ll agree with my idea?”

Leaning back in my seat, I rubbed my temples and asked,

“What’s your idea?”

“I’m thinking of moving in with you!”

I immediately opened my eyes wide and stared at her,

“Are you speaking incorrectly? Beilu Hill is not a place fit for living. I get it, you want to come over to keep me company, right? Did Wenya ask you to do this? You guys really don’t need to go through this trouble, there’s no need, seriously!”

“No, Ayun, hear me out! Recently, I’ve left my child with my mother, and if I go back now, my mother-in-law won’t be pleased to see me, which can easily lead to arguments. I was thinking of staying at your place for a while to have some peace and to create some distance to avoid fighting with her.”

“Uh, what about your child?”

“It doesn’t affect him. My mom is taking care of him.”

“But I’m worried you won’t be used to living over there.”

“No worries, I’ll just take your car from work in the evening, and return in your car in the morning. There’s nothing inconvenient about it. Besides, living at your place could help me save some money.”

When Jian Jing said all this to me, I didn’t really think too deeply about it.

Since she had this request, I didn’t refuse.

After all, that house is big, and Jian Jing isn’t someone who looks for trouble. I had no objections to living with her, so I agreed,

“Alright! Just don’t get too scared.”

“Pfft, I’m not Wenya. I don’t believe in ghosts and spirits. They can’t frighten me!”

“Okay, no problem! In fact, I have everything you need over there, you don’t need to bring anything.”

“Got it!”

“Oh, and just a reminder, little kids can’t go there.”

“Yeah, no worries, my kid is with my mom…”

“So your child is with your mom. Does Yu Jiahang contribute any living expenses?”

It was a long trip, so I just casually asked a few questions.

Jian Jing sighed,

“Contribute living expenses? He used to give some, but now that he’s heard I’m working, he stopped. Occasionally, he’d buy some milk powder for the child, and even then, he nitpicks about how much milk powder the kid consumes, saying it’d be better off with breast milk. Damn it… I’m working and supposed to provide breast milk too? His brain is full of shit.”

“What does your mother-in-law say?”

“What can she say? She doesn’t like my daughter one bit, always running around praying and seeking charms for having a boy. She keeps telling me to quickly have another child, going mad over wanting a grandson. She doesn’t even consider her own circumstances before telling me to have another baby.”

Jian Jing’s complaints came out emotionally charged; I understood that sort of explosive temperament.

Many mothers, after having a child, because of inaction from other family members, end up suffering from kinds of depression…

Suddenly, Jian Jing turned her head to look at me,

“When you had your daughter and then later had another child, was it very tough?”

Her question brought back a lot of memories buried deep in my heart, ones I dared not touch.

“Having another child was tough for me. I developed high blood pressure during pregnancy and couldn’t have anesthesia, so the doctor just went straight in with the scalpel.”

“That must have been painful, right?”

“It was painful… but strangely, when I remember it now, the pain doesn’t seem as intense. Instead, when I see the kids, all the hardship seems to be healed. What mattered the most, though, was that Gu Yuanzhou was there with me the whole time, accompanying me throughout. After giving birth, he didn’t even need a nurse, staying by my side night and day, even holding me as we slept.”

Now that I recall, Gu Yuanzhou truly was a very competent husband and father.

When I had my second child, he made sure our eldest daughter’s daily life was well-arranged and sent me and our son to the postpartum care center.

A professional confinement nanny took care of my son, while he attentively looked after everything, never needing me to worry about the daily details, I didn’t even know how much money he had spent.

“Hey, although Gu Yuanzhou was said to be no good later on, when I think about it now, he actually did quite a lot for you and for the children. Even though he was a scumbag, he really touched you,”

Jian Jing sighed.

“Not like Yu Jiahang, he was so irresponsible, how the hell did I go blind and fall for him?”

“They say women lower their intelligence while in love, being in an unclear state of mind, making some irrational choices, and looking back now, it’s really true,”

“Yeah, in this lifetime I’m never falling in love again, never going to believe in men again,”

Jian Jing sighed.

The car soon arrived at this five-star hotel.

In the underground parking lot, I heard a burst of laughter, and looking in the direction of the sound,

I saw a man and a woman stepping out of a car.

The two of them were laughing and talking, looking very happy.

The woman was tall, wearing a dress, with her arm naturally entwined with the man’s.

“So cheap, how come I run into them everywhere.”

Jian Jing had already muttered under her breath.

Because these two were none other than Jiang Jiaying and Ding Yinuo.

“Forget it, let’s not deal with them.”

I pulled on Jian Jing’s hand and took the side passage to the elevator.

Jian Jing also said, “The world is really small, you run into these two wherever you go.”

“This city isn’t that big to begin with, plus, this business hotel often hosts business meetings, so it’s normal for them to show up here,” I reasoned.

Right after we entered the elevator and the doors were closing, preparing to go up, suddenly someone on the outside hit the open button.

The elevator doors opened again, and in walked the figures of Ding Yinuo and Jiang Jiaying.

Jiang Jiaying wore a professional, figure-hugging mini-skirt, outlining her sexy figure.

When she looked at me, there was a trace of surprise in her eyes,

“What a coincidence! We always seem to meet.”

Jiang Jiaying appeared to cherish every encounter with me, constantly showing off her sense of superiority.

“This city isn’t owned by your family, bumping into each other is normal,”

Jian Jing blocked for me.

Ding Yinuo said nothing, his tall figure leaning against the elevator wall.

Maintaining a clever and proper distance from me.

Jiang Jiaying didn’t seem to be offended, still smiling at me, then she moved a bit closer and reached toward my hairline,

“Hey, there’s a leaf in your hair, let me get it for you.”

Whether there was actually a leaf in my hair I didn’t know, but I caught a glimpse of the huge diamond ring on her hand, the size of a pigeon egg, very shiny.

Seeing me staring at her hand, she quickly withdrew it, “Sorry for making you laugh. You’ve never seen such a big diamond before, have you? If you like, I can let you have a closer look!”

Jian Jing knew she was showing off and gave her a dismissive look,

“It’s just a diamond ring, acting as if nobody else can afford it,”

Jiang Jiaying laughed,

“Yeah, it’s not expensive, just over a million… But its value isn’t in the money, it’s about who gave it. This was given to me by Yinuo.”
